Premier screening of the new film work SUM by Cai Ulrich von Platen.
Sunday March 1, at 16:00 in Herðubreið cinema.
About the film:
We enter a small intimate office-space in Copenhagen. From the safe surroundings of two elderly accountants performing their daily book keeping routines, we are oscillated out to similarly unspectacular scenes in Hanoi, Hamburg, Damascus and Narva in Estonia. We hear speaking voices, but the moving bodies, the exchange of goods, of gazes and positions is what layers into a sum of life.
The point of departure of SUM is simple: A single man with his small camera, carefully recording the activities of ordinary days, ordinary tasks and sheer routines from where he stands.
Running time: 45 min.
